really like the shots. just the obvious comments, last shot is dark, but this might be the look you are going for, first two look a little yellow to me, but thats not really an issue as its easily resolved in post processing. The close-up movement shot is interesting, but im not a huge fun. like i said, its all about taste, and what you want your images to show/tell. I like to see a center of focus, somewhere on the image, but overall, i like the pics, very interesting.

2 and 3 do it for me. Sorry but I'm not sure I'm in a position to critique as I've still got my "L" plates

i wanna clarify, i wasnt tryin to be overyly harsh or come off as a know it all or a pro, ive never shot motoX before, and like i said, overall, i like it

thanks for the comments . i was going for the dark look in the last shot to show the bright sunlight that was coming through a fan . i am not seeing the yellow you mentioned in the first two ... but my monitor is crap so that might be why . indoor mx is really tough to shoot . worse light than hockey and a bit of exhaust haze and dust in the air and fast speeds . really tough !

bleachers show yellow especially. if u play around with the colors in PS at all, maybe adding a little blue, i think itd bring more focus on the rider, but im super anal about color, and its not really a big deal.

ps monitors can make a huge differnce too
pss. the more i look at that last picture, the more i like it. alot.

great shots in tough conditions. Last time I tried to take pics at an arenaxross event, none turned out!
I like em!

BTW- Where were you located? Those are pretty close shots with ?

a new monitor is definately on my wish list .

thanks crypto . the track was in a hockey rink , super tight track . all those shots were from the players bench on either side , shot with the 85mm no flash .

The 3rd one rocks!
